Become an IB World School

In order to offer one or more of the International Baccalaureate® (IB) programmes of education, schools must complete an authorization process. Once they have been authorized, they are known as IB World Schools.

This section of our website tells you how to become an IB World School, including the fees and costs involved.

Conferences

Each year, the IB presents several conferences and symposia. We gather educational leaders, decision makers and practitioners from schools, universities and governments, as well as students, to discuss and develop ideas on international education.
